Kresr0ck Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 This is just a comment I saw today that I think is a pretty cool idea: "Somebody needs to create an outpost sharing framework mod. I know, it's probably easier said than done, but imagine if we can use such a feature to create new POIs with the community created outposts. I can imagine new POI mods will skyrocket if such a feature exists." Fill the outposts with non-hostile NPCs or with hostile NPCs, and once you've cleared the outpost, you can claim it. Fallout 4 has Transfer Settlements mod, so this should be somewhat doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 Fallout 4 also has settlement blueprints..... so, a lot of the groundwork has been done.... just need the folks that made them to be interested enough in starfield to port them over.

Expand Fallout 4 didn't have procedural generated terrain that the landscape from player to player, including randomly placed build blocking POIs.

HeyYou Posted December 3, 2024 Share Posted December 3, 2024 True, but, the system for placement of random POI's is already in place. Bear in mind though, I have no clue how it actually works..... Is the 'local' landscape included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand What I meant is that you could duplicate the outpost, but you'd be placing it on entirely different terrain because of the random generation, which would likely break the outpost. In FO4 the terrain doesn't change, Sanctuary is always Sanctuary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kresr0ck Posted December 8, 2024 Author Share Posted December 8, 2024 (edited) Maybe make it a requirement to build everything on top of a slightly raised foundation if you want to share your outpost. So everything will be built on a elevated flat ground, making it feasible for the outpost to appear on any kind of land terrain.

Kresr0ck Posted December 8, 2024 Author Share Posted December 8, 2024 Also, the ability to save outposts can be very useful for New Game+ playthroughs. Rebuilding entire outpost/s with just a few clicks. I really hope this idea can come to fruition some day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
